His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
Ver. 5. His glory is great in thy salvation] He was at first slighted, even by his own, as a petty prince; and the Philistines came up to seek him, that they might suppress him before he grew too strong for them; insomuch as he, for fear of them, went down to the hold, 2 Samuel 5:17, but soon after he became formidable to them and the rest of the neigbbouring nations, whom he subdued and reigned over. The like hereunto befell our Queen Elizabeth, who, how low soever at first, became at length, as her enemies confessed, the most glorious woman that ever swayed sceptre, because posuit Deum adiutorem suum.
Honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him] A growing weight of glory, a load of it, even before man. The saints, when they come to heaven, shall have an exceeding, excessive, eternal weight of glory, 2 Corinthians 4:17, such as if the body were not upheld by the mighty power of God it were impossible it should ever bear it.
